Posh are just cruising now. Vale are lacking quality in their few openings too.

Vale have gone to pieces now. Poku nearly makes it 3 with a curling effort from the edge of the box. Well saved by Stevens.

Home fans very agitated now.

Worrall being taken off for politic drew hugs boos.

Darrell Clarke was screaming at a fan who was giving him stick to sit down. Never seen anything like it.

Fantastic counter again. Poku slides in Joe Ward. First time cross into the box and there is EMC to sweep home.
